HomeMy WebLinkAbout01/08/93 BAKERSFIELD MEMORANDUM TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL ~~uary 8, 1993 FROM: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER AND JOHN W. STINSON, ASSISTANT TO THE CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: GENERAL INFORMATION 1. Welcome to this mailing list to our new Council representative from Ward 5, Mr. Kane. For the knowledge of the Council members, staff has volunteered time to help brief and orient Mr. Kane and that process has begun this week. 2. The staff has been working rather quietly on the interior design of the Santa Barbara Savings & Loan Building. We are developing plans which will result in much of it requiring very minor modification. Very few walls will have to be moved. We feel that we are ,capable of doing much of the work ourselves and will only be contracting out a couple of sections of work in order to hold costs down. 3. As was probably easy to anticipate, neither the school district nor the B.I.A. agreed with our City Attorney's opinion on the school mitigation issue. The schools apparently continue to contend that CEQUA mitigation over and above the dollar per square foot fee is still allowed and the B.I.A. that it is one dollar for all school districts rather than one dollar per school district. In all probability that situation will result in some sort of litigation involving the City with one or both parties at some time in the future. 4. We have been notified that there is a parade permit being applied for in April by the Klu Klux Klan. We will obviously work the matter through the legal department and will comply with all legal requirements in that regard. We do not, of course, wish to do anything to violate Federal law or to give a group such as this free publicity. 5. In the not too distant future, I will probably be taking some sort of recommendation before you to change our current policy on allowing unannexed properties to connect to our sewer system. My understanding is that those used to be allowed by Council action and are now allowed administratively within certain areas and confines. Quite frankly, in terms of the Council's policy to encourage the cleaning up of our boundaries and to encourage annexation, giving away our services is a major determent. When I was in Billings, we were successful in getting 10,000 people to annex primarily because they wanted sewer service. In a sense, we already give away our fire service through the J.P.A. We already do a lot of law enforcement backup, resulting in giving away some level of police services. Giving away sewer service is almost the last lever that we have to encourage people to annex. There are certain areas with legal constraints on our ability to say "Yes" or "No" and is complicated but in essence, I am encouraging you to think about keeping this as a tool to encourage annexation in the future. 6. Several of your have asked about the vacated Airport Director position. A memorandum on that subject is enclosed. Note that we will be having to, for the long term, freeze a variety of different positions because sales tax decline and anticipated future actions of the legislature. With respect to this position, the department head feels that others can pick up the workload. 7. On January 6, 1993, the City was approved as the first official member of the Kern Small Business Venture Loan Fund. 8. John W. Stinson attended a League meeting this week and prospects for the City look bleak with respect to the likely capture of our revenue this legislative session. 9. The drug bust mentioned in The Bakersfield Californian could well result in a very large addition to our asset forfeiture fund. It will take a 60-day wait to know that with certainty. The $900,000 would be split between several law enforcement agencies but our share would still be very nice! 10. Due to recent interest in the City's graffiti problems, I thought it would be valuable to remind the City Council that we have a 24-hour hotline for graffiti removal which can be reached by dialing 32 -ERASE. Individuals who call this number and provide location and other pertinent information regarding graffiti, will be address by the Economic/Community Development staff. · kef Enclosures 6 JAN 9] ~ 27 /~ BAKERSFIELD PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT MEMORAN~ TO: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANGER ~ / / FROM: ED W. SCHULZ, PUBLIC WORKS D~RECTOR ~. / DATE: JANUARY 5, 19 9 3 / SUBJECT: AIRPORT MANAGER 'Recently you requested that I provide you with a recommendation as to the vacancy in the subject Public Works position. I have discussed this vacancy and the functions of the airport with staff and it is my conclusion that filling of this vacancy can be suspended indefinitely and the duties of the position can be handled directly by the General Services Superintendent. Airport operations will not be impacted by this decision, since the Airport Manager now functions primarily as a contact for the airport tenants and as a contact in the eventuality of an emergency involving aircraft using the facility. Ongoing maintenance of the facility is shared by various City departments. I have attached a report indicating the process involved in airport concerns. This provides the procedure to be used in airport emergencies and for tenant concerns. Fixed base operators at the airport have a copy of this procedure. As to development of the airport properties, a Marketing Committee is in place and they will continue to work with potential clients or tenants for this facility. I have also attached the committee's most recent report. In conclusion I would like to express my support for this change, but with this additional assignment for the General Services Superintendent in addition to his other duties, I would also strongly recommend an increase in the superintendent's salary. An appropriate adjustment would be in the neighborhood of 5%. Should you have additional comments or questions regarding this matter, I would be glad to respond. D9 Attach.

ACCESS AND RENDEZVOUS AREAS Primary access to the runway area is through three (3) gates. The west gate access is through the parking lot on the corner of Union Avenue and Watts Drive just south of the restaurant (Gate #1). The south gate is at the south end of the runway on East White Lane. The gate is locked with a chain and a City lock. (#0346), (Gate #4) A secondary entrance is on Planz Road, ending at the Airport. There is a locked City gate (Key Code 0346), (Gate #3). Madison Street has now been extended from Watts Drive to East White Lane. Now the entire airport is surrounded by paved roads. Unless a call is received of an aircraft down at a certain location, information is usually sketchy, at best, as to the situation that is developing. The information that our units receive is usually severai minutes old. The aircraft are in contact with Meadows Field, and the information must be relayed through organizations to our units. A ~recommended procedure for staain.q an aircraft-in-distress call would be: 1. Engine 5 (first due) proceed to East Planz Road and Coy and make a survey of the runway. Access to the runway- would be through Planz Road (Gate #3). 2. Engine 6 (second due) would proceed to the northern end of the runway through the electronically controlled gate (#1228 or #1234). 3. Patrol (P-7) should respond to the restaurant parking area at Watts Drive and South Union Avenue. It may be necessary to divert the patrol for off-road use- either north or south of the airport. If the patrol is not immediately needed at the .i scene of the emergency, and the emergency is on the runway, the driver should control access to the runway at the gate. 4. Truck 7 should stage in the restaurant parking area at Watts' Drive and South Union Avenue. 5., . Base for second alarm units will be the restaurant parking area at Watts Drive and South Union Avenue. 6. If a rapid response vehicle (RRV) with AFFF is 'available, stage at center~ield near Gate #3 (Planz Road). REMEMBER: NEVER USE THE RUNWAY Powered Gates: · If'there is a power failure, the gates can be manually opened by going to the control box, removing the covers, and flipping a lever that disconnects the chain drive. Inside this cover is an on/off switch which can be turned off to secure the gate in an open position. The gate can be made to stay open by laying a piece of metal across the control grid inside the gate. . Remember, when using the controllers the "Cf" sign must be entered before entering the code number 1228 or 1234. (After a prolonged power failure, coded gates will revert to the manufacturer's setting 1234). 3. CRITICAL RESCUE AND FIRE FIGHTING ACCESS AREA The CRFFAA is defined as the rectangular area surrounding a runway; its width extends 500 feet outward from the centerline of the runway, and its length is 3,300 feet beyond each threshold..Studies by the International Federation of Airline Pilots and the United, States Airline Pilots Association indicate the largest percentage of survivable accidents occur in this area. At airports that maintain a dedicated fire department, the standard for response to incidents in the CRFFAA is': 1. Two minutes to any poi.nt on the runway. 2. Three minutes to any point in the CRFFAA for the primary responding unit. The runway configuration causes the CRFFAA to extend south of White Lane and north of Casa Loma. 4. BAKERSFIELD MUNICIPAL AIRPORT The present Bakersfield Municipal Airport consists of a runway 4,000 X 75 feet. This runway has a bearing of 340 degrees. Three sets of "T" hangars are on site in addition to four other aircraft-related structures. In the northwest corner of the property is the restaurant building and the experimental aircraft hangar. · A 15,000 square foot hangar is located west of the runway at Center Field. The runway is 376 feet above sea. level. The airport is uncontrolled: Landings are done by visual flight rules With a Common Traffic Frequency (CTF) syStem located at the airport. Obstacles in the landing and take- off areas are the 115 kilovolt PG&E transmission lines south of the runway between East Pacheco Road and East White Lane and Three towers near South "P" Street and Belle Terrace. The future airport will be a FAA Category 2 general utility airport. The NFPA.classification Will be at least a Category 3 and possibly a Category 4 airport. The runway will accommodate Citation 1 and 2, DC 3, Lockheed Jetstar and Lear 23 and 24 type aircraft. For a clarification of NFPA categories, refer to NFPA No. 403. Obstruction Clearance: Obstructions include the115 KV PG&E tower lines near the approach to Runway 34 at a slope of 21:1. There are three towers in this area, one of which is now the approach sudace for Runway 34. This tower is located near the extended centerline of the runway' approximately 3,050 feet from the end of-the runway. Accident potential beyond the runway surface is most likely to occur during takeoffs and landings. Land use and activities adjacent to either end of the airport runways are subject to a higher risk of accident. Land use below the departure and the final approach paths of aircraft also have a higher potential than land outside of the flight paths. 5. ANTICIPATED EMERGENCIES I. Aircraft a. Aircraft ground accidents can usually be classified into two categories: 1, Catastrophic accidents involving structural failure are generally non-survivable and the rescue problem is slight, though a fire may be extensive. This type of incident could result from a mid-air collision or other incident involving structural failure or control surface components. 2. The non-catastrophic accidents such as those involving Iow speed or shallow ground impact angles have a high degree of survivability. Quick fire and rescue operations will be needed to limit injuries to the victims. This type of accident may be associated with poor landing procedures or emergency landings. b. Fueling accidents: The Bakersfield Municipal Airport has one. fueling area protected by one dry chemical extinguisher. There is poor drainage in the fueling area. Fuel spills may be caused by an overfill condition or a malfunctioning internal shut-off valve which would produce a spill at the tank vent. c. An .emergency shut off is located 100 feet west of the island on the corner of' the building adjacent and north of the tower. Accidents during maintenance procedures may occur in any hangar. Limited maintenance procedures may occur in any hangar since maintenance is permitted in the hangars. The possibility of a problem primarily exists in the service hangars where a mai- function of groUnd service equipment or a maintenance accident could occur. II. Structural Fires a. The contents of private hangars may include only the aircraft; or contain complete living areas (sofas, tables, refrigerators, etc.). The planes are generally stored with a full load of fuel to decrease condensation. The planes are .not to be started in the hangar. I't would be best to consider the hangars as having a high fire load due to the unknown amount of stored material. b. Maintenance hangars contain solvents; other possibly hazardous chemicals may be Present. Aircraft may be full of fuel. Expect to find welding and machine operations in these areas. 6. THE AIRPORT MANAGER Under Chapter 19 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code, the Airport Manager is empowered to promulgate policies arid procedures to insure safe and efficient operation of the airport. It is the Airport Manager's responsibility to enforce all the rules and regulations of Chapter 19. No person shall operate an aircraft transporting explosives or hazardous waste, including, but not limited to radioactive materials, without proper permits and without prior consent from the City of Bakersfield (Municipal Code 19.05.060). Any and every person involved _in or witnessing an aircraft accident on the airPort shall report promptly the details of such accident to the Airport Manager, to the FAA/FSS and to the local law enforcement personnel, as required by law. In addition, the pilot or aircraft owner shall report fully to the Department of Transportation of the State of California, Aeronautics Division the details on any accident in which the damage to the property of the other exceeds four hundred dollars. The pilot and/or owner of'an aircraft Which is damaged or wrecked in an accident shall be responsible for the prompt removal of' said aircraft as directed by the Airport Manager. Where the pilot or owner is unable to arrange for the removal of such disabled or wrecked aircraft, the Airport Manager shall have the authority to move, or 'arrange to move, the aircraft when released (if applicable) by the FAA or the NTSB (Municipal Code 19.05.080). The Airport Manager should be informed of any fire department response to the Bakersfield Municipal Airport. Airport Office 832-9100 Operations Manager 326-3781 Pager (digital) 326-3082/7/903 The acting Airport Manager is Larry Jamison, General Services Superintendent. His office phone is 326-3781. His home phone is 832-1715. 7. CLOSING THE RUNWAY If it becomes necessary to close the runway, it is preferable that the Airport Manager carry out this task. If he is unavailable, and there is a clear and present danger, the runway can be closed by covering the runway numbers with yellow crosses which are located in the power room on Planz Road. (It takes a'minimum of two people to lift the canvas crosses.) The Meadows Field tower and the Flight Service Station at Meadows Field should be contacted immediately. ToWer 399-3531 FSS 399-1787 · Airport Manager 326-3781 No Traffic May Use the Runway. For access to the runway, use the taxiway. If the runway must be crossed, stop the equipment and look along both runway approaches before crossing. When driving on airport property, follow the yellow road markings as much as possible. Do not park' on the runway or near the runway!. It may be necessary to use personnel to deny entry to unauthorized vehicles. These personnel should brief authorized vehicles (police) not to use the runway. HYDRANTS FiRE HYDRANT . '~"LOCKED GATES (0346) "'""'"'"'=';'""""'--,AUTOMATED GATE (~ 1228) :IE HYDRANTS ~..~ .

MEMORANDUM y 5, 1993 TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager FROM: Jake Wager, Economic Development Director SUBJECT: Update on Status of Petition by Jan ThOmpson for a Southeast Bakersfield Supermarket. Within a brief time after I forwarded the petition, prepared by Jan Thompson, to four .. supermarkets I received a response from three chains. Lucky's took issue with some of the statements made by Ms. Thompson and seemed to conclude that no further consideration would be given. Von's and Albertson's on the other hand called to indicate their receipt of the petition and to suggest that they would be reviewing the information. In both cases the executives I spoke with indicated that they would be in touch with me again as well as contacting Ms. Thompson. Shortly before the holidays I spoke with Ms. Thompson. At that time she had not been contacted · by either chain. Pursuant to your request I have sent off a letter to three of the chains asking for an update. I will advise you of their response. enClosures dlt:jakel supermar.mem NOV 0 9 £CONOMIC & COMMUNI~' DEVELOPMENT AMERICAN STORES PROPERTIES, INC.

I have been covering the Bakersfield area for almost five years now,.and am very familiar with the growth that has occurred in your beautiful city, and to some degree, the needs of specific areas within the city limits. In that respect, I briefly surveyed the petiti°n and the demographics provided with your letter. You mentioned that many residents had to travel eight miles to reach the nearest Lucky store, yet the demographic study provided was one performed at the intersection of Brundage and Union Avenue, less than two miles from our Lucky market located on South "H" Street. I also note, if my map reading ability is still accurate, it appears that you live just 2-1/2 miles from this same store. This appears to be a conflict with your earlier statement. As I mentioned earlier, over the last five years it is my opinion that growth is occurring more in the southwest and northwest portions of Bakersfield with some secondary growth occurring in the northeast and a little in the south end of town.. I am'not specifically aware of any significant growth occurring, or the need for a market in- the southeast portion of Bakersfield, as I strive to keep updated on this information with local brokers. I must say that if residents are traveling eight miles to be able to shop at a Lucky market, they live in a very isolated area of Bakersfield. Your meetings with Mr. Wager of the Economic Development Department and his subsequent letter to our Company, raised the issues of benefits for locating in the southeast metropolitan area of Bakersfield. Perhaps you or Mr. Wager could forward to my attention an outline of this area so that we may more readily analyze it for the possibility of locating a Lucky market in it. Presently efforts are concentrated on the southwest and northwest areas of Bakersfield as those are the areas of rapid growth which would warrant the development of a shopping center anchored by a supermarket. If I am missing an opportunity elsewhere in the city, I would like that brought to my attention. However, at this time I don't believe the southeastern portion of Bakersfield warrants the development of a shopping center site anchored by a large supermarket. This may change in the near future, but our presence on South "H" Street east of Hwy. 99, and our store on Columbus Avenue, immediately north of Hwy. 178, is well within the travel distance for the residents of southeast Bakersfield as I see it.

STINSON ISTANT CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: HOUSING, COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT POLICY COMMITTEE NOTES On January 7, 1993, I attended the Policy Committee Meeting of the League of California Cities for Housing, Community and Economic Development. A number of items were discussed as part of the agenda. The first being a grassroots lobbying effort to address state budget problems. I have attached a copy of a handout which was distributed at the meeting. Basically, it addresses an effort to inform state legislators by local cities, and this effort will be coordinated through regional~ city manager groups. In addition to this; the committee reviewed its work program for economic development for the year. They had several speakers who focused on economic development. Particularly, redevelopment and the use of reinvestment corporations to enhance local financing in blighted areas. A legislative update was provided by Dwight Stenbakken of the League of California Cities. Primarily, he discussed the upcoming budget problems with the state. He indicated that there is a possibility that last year's redevelopment take could be a subject of a legal challenge; however, cities have been hesitant to challenge the legality of it due to the fact any shortfalls would likely have to be made up by general fund revenues. In addition to this, he projected that the governor's proposed budget would include the taking of the remaining AB 8 money from cities and counties. The total would be $700 million statewide. The state would also take $400 to 500 million of property tax money from all local government. The impact to cities would likely be $40 to 50 million. The state would also takean additional $300 million on a permanent basis from redevelopment. He stated that it was likely that if this occurred, there would be more incentive by cities to file lawsuits to challenge their authority to take redevelopment funds. In addition to these budget cuts to both cities and counties, he stated that there would be an additional $2 billion taken from county health and welfare programs. The League's response to these anticipated cuts is the formation of a committee of 55 representatives with two from each Division of the League so there is regional representation, and 10 provided at-large as a technical committee which were reviewed by the City Managers' Group, including financial and legal representation. League staff indicated that the HCED committee members would be receiving a list of who is on this committee. As I receive this information, I will provide it to you. HOUSING, COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE NOTES January 8, 1993 Page -2- In additional legislative items, there was a discussion of affordable housing quotas and the ability of being able to transfer them between cities; the crackdown by.the attorney general on cities with bad housing elements (we are not included on this list); and most importantly, proposed legislation by the schools to require a school facilities element as part of the general plan. There was a great deal of discussion about this proposed legislation. Particularly of concern was the concept of siting specific school sites and the potential of that being considered a taking. There was discussion that rather that a specific siting of facilities, there would be a criteria for some other broad designation of where schools should be located. There will be a staff review of this by the League to address a number of the problems that are potentially associated with this legislation. Finally, there was discussion about proposed annexation legislation to make it possible to preapprove annexations. There is a model in Santa Clara County that' may be able to be used in this regard. League staff is obtaining additional information and a committee was designated to work with the City Managers' Group of the League to further pursue this type of legislation. I volunteered to assist as part of this committee. Information was also distributed regarding a proposed meeting with the State Housing Community Development Department to discuss housing element development following the Planning Institute in Monterey on March 12 and 13. We should make Jack Hardisty aware of this.~ He may want to send Stan Grady, or other staff members attending the Institute could participate in this discussion. If you have any further questions with regard to the items discussed at the meeting, please let me know.

The change involves the creation of a grass roots legislative advocacy strategy similar to the strategy employed during the 1992 State budget crisis. During the crisis, city officials performed quite well as lobbyists; they knew the issues, the politics and the fiscal constraints. This effort by city officials-known as the "Grass Roots Strategy"-will be critical again as the State balances an estimated deficit between $4 and $11 billion. The grass roots lobbying strategy includes the following elements: 1) Twenty one Regional City Manager GrouPs to, among Other things, coordinate "Know Your City" orientations for State Legislators. Each Area Manager President has chosen a coordinator to head this effort, and a key contact person for each legislative district within the area. 2) The "Know Your City" orientations will vary from area to area. The premise is to educate legislators on city operations. Last year every city added to its council a new member--their Assembly Members and Senators-who need to be educated just as a new council member would on how cities are financed, what services are provided and which cuts are made. An outline of the orientation may include the following: breakfast with the mayors and city managers from each city within the district; a morning tour of a redevelopment project, a public works project, a low-and moderate-income housing project and various, city departments; a lunch meeting with community and business leaders; and a'press conference. 3) City Public Information Officers have been selected to work with the area manager groups to assist with media and other communication activities. 4) Elected officials will be key to the "Know Your City" orientation and in making direct contacts with State Legislators throughout the State budget process. A Strategy Advisory Forum made up of representatives from each of the League's Divisions has met to develop recommendations on short and long-term economic recovery strategies. The Board of Directors provides the overall direction and the final policy approval for the effort.

Subdivision Issues C. Zoning Exemption Issues COMMITI'EE ON HOUSING, COMMUNITY AND EcoNOMIc DEVELOPMENT Legislative Agenda January 1993 1. Municipal Annexation. Background: Following the Legislature's enactment of SB 1559, the ability to incorporate new cities is largely curtailed. In addition, amendments to Government Code section 56845 are likely to result in severe limits to the ability of cities to annex new areas for development. As a result, new development will occur in unincorporated areas'where public services and facilities are least accessible. Unincorporated development leads to increased traffic, premature agricultural land conversion, loss of natural resources, and strained infrastructure capabilities. The League believes that such results are contrary to public policy as expressed in State Planning and Zoning Law, the Cortese-Knox Local Government Reorganization Act, and the California Environmental Quality Act. These outcomes are also contrary to the goals of the many growth management bills which have been introduced over the past three years: Governor Wilson's Interagency Council on Growth Management recommended a number of actions to simplify the annexation process while ensuring that the state's interest in preserving agricultural land is protected. The Governor's Council describes Santa Clara County as a model for "preapproving" annexations" consistent with specified objectives. Urban Service Areas are delineated by LAFCOs within which cities may conduct annexation proceedings without LAFCO approval. The Governor's Council further recommends replacing LAFCO involvement with that of the local Council of Governments. This approach would certainly improve planning by directing development to compact urban areas rather than allow sprawl development of poorly planned unincorporated areas. The City Attorney Legislative Committee has been asked to draft legislation consistent with the Council's recommendations. Issue: Should the League sponsor legislation to simplify city annexation? C°mmittee Recommendation: H:\pub~jl\polcom\hcedleg.jan HOUSING ELEMENT COALITION Discussion: The League has been meeting with a number of groups interested in housing element reform brought together by the American Planning Association. This committee's Affordable Housing subcommittee has been invited to each of the four meetings. The last meeting was held at the League's offices on December 11. The interest groups attending have included California Rural Legal Assistance, Western Center on Law and Poverty, the Department of Housing and Community Development, the California State Association of Counties, and the American Planning Association. ·While there remains considerable disagreement between the housing advocates and l°cal governments, local government planners are developing a consensus that housing element law must be. simplified. Two proposals are being reviewed. First, a proposal by Bob Paternoster' would make housing planning efforts more consistent with existing comprehensive planning efforts and federal reporting requirements. Mister Paternoster's proposal includes a substitution of a resource based c°nstruction performance standard in exchange for eliminating HCD review of Housing' Element adequacy. Redistribution of sales tax is proposed as an incentive to encourage local governments to exceed the performance standard. Second, the Association of Bay Area Governments has proposed Utilizing existing housing element law coupled with a performance standard. The incentive under the ABAG prOposal is regulatory. Cities meeting the standard would be exempted from HCD review, while those not meeting the standard would undergo detailed review. MANDATE SUSPENSION Information.: The legislature suspended Chapter 1143, statutes of 1980. Chapter 1143 added section 65580 -- 65889 to the Government Code. Cities are now exempt from revising Housing Elements to meet COG assigned regional shares pursuant to these Government Code sections. No appropriations are available for reimbursement to cities during 1993 for the following activities. Collection and tabulation of employment data, and the analysis and documentation of employment trend including its consideration in the housing need projections (Sections 65583(a)(1)). Review of the allocation data provided by the Council of Governments or the Department of Housing. and Community Development regarding the locality's share of regional housing ·needs and, if necessary, revision to the claimant's housing elements as a result of the allocation data. - Collection and tabulation of data regarding the handicapped and farm Workers, and the analysis and documentation of their housing needs (Section 65583(a)(6)). - Collection and tabulation of data regarding energy conservation and the analysis and documentation of opportunities'for energy conservation with respect to ,residential development (Section 65583(a)(7)). One-time costs for the documentation of the public participation process (Section 65583(b)(5)).

Provide for consistency statewide, focusing primarily on an urban strategy versus a rural strategy. August 24, 1992 Page 2 8. Develop a survey for city councils serving on LAFCOs to gain their comments as to how LAFCOs are operating. 9. Organize a league of division areas representatives to assist LAFCO appointed representatives to learn their roles expeditiously.~ These were suggestions made by mayors and council members at the meeting.
